Chapter 346: Ideological and Economic Intentions
The result of the vote was not too surprising, and Black Guhong was elected as the first mountain lord of Hetao.
Even if they are not convinced by the black bone red, but the situation is obvious to all, and at the moment, no one is more suitable for this position than the black bone red.
So, even if they don't want to, it can only be like this.
Of course, the difference is that Chen Mu has become an inspector, and he can be regarded as a small clamp on the black bone red, so as not to make him arbitrary.
After everyone accepted the result, the rest of the matter became much more harmonious.
Earlier, although everyone lived in the walled city, everyone was vigilant and fearful, and they did not know when they would be killed.
After choosing Black Bone Red as the mountain master, their personal safety was guaranteed, and the little unconvincing in their hearts was gone.
This is a night that will determine the direction of Hong Kong's underground world, and even the world under the sun!
On the second day, the news quickly spread, and people from all the major communities poured into the walled city, and the whole walled city was celebrating this alliance with joy.
They have finally gone from being a rabble to being a united force, or so they think.
However, Chen Mu didn't have time to participate in the celebration.
He left the walled city and returned to Henry Wilson's manor, and finally took Huang Xing and others into the walled city.
Thanks to Chen Mu, he was able to be successfully elected and gather the underground forces of the entire Hong Kong, and Hei Guhong was also very grateful, and he was able to properly settle Huang Xing and Du Xingwu and others.
Sun Youlin, Haruko Ashiya and others wanted to talk to Chen Mu several times, but Chen Mu had some pimples in his heart, and he never gave them this opportunity.
Chen Mu knew that they wanted to follow Chen Mu again.
Chen Mu was actually not angry about this, but he knew that the choice made by Sun Youlin and the others for the first time was the truest thought in their hearts.
They want to follow Huang Xing and others to make a revolution, it can't be said to be a good thing or a bad thing, Chen Mu just wants them to respect their inner choice.
Instead of following Chen Mu, it was better to protect Huang Xing and the others, so Chen Mu politely rejected their request, Sun Youlin and the others followed Chen Mu for too long, and they could feel what Chen Mu meant, and after a few failed attempts, they stopped mentioning this matter.
However, Wei Guzhi and other immortal girls have to follow Chen Mu no matter what, and there is no way to avoid it.
Although the city is smoky and miasma, like a dirty forest, Wei Guzhi and the others are like fish in water, and Chen Mu doesn't care about them, but he didn't expect that after only a few days, the situation has changed greatly.
Because after that night, Hei Guhong and more than thirty hall masters held a grand celebration together, allowing Chen Mu to officially hand over the dragon head stick.
The reason for doing this is not only to declare the "legitimacy" of black bone red, but also to let everyone see the dragon head stick, and to establish the authority of the dragon head stick.
And Chen Mu has become well-known because of this, and the entire walled city, and even the underground world of Hong Kong, all know that there is a young Waijiang man named Chen Shiv, who brought a dragon head stick and twisted all the clubs on the table into a rope.
What's even more interesting is that someone dug out the newspaper a few days ago and dug up Chen Mu's news, this Chen Shishi not only brought a dragon head stick, but also brought a dugong, becoming a celebrity for a while!
Of course, the most talked about thing is the big lion next to Chen Mu, this kind of style is much more majestic than black bone red!
Chen Mu didn't want to steal the limelight from the black bones, after all, he had just been elected, and what he needed most was authority, so Chen Mu would not easily take the big lion out.
Even so, walking on the street, there are still people who recognize Chen Mu, and everyone respectfully calls him the Fourteenth Master.
But after Wei Guzhi and the others were active in the city for a few days, when they saw Chen Mu, they first saluted the red lotus and called the red lotus the Holy Mother!
Chen Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and felt amazing, if Huang Xing and others recruited Wei Guzhi under his command, I was afraid that in ten days and a half, the people of Hong Kong would follow to make a revolution!
Huang Xing and the others were willing, but Wei Guzhi and the other old aunts said that they were not willing to say anything, and Chen Mu would no longer make a match.
Although there is no right-hand man like Wei Guzhi, Huang Xing and others are not idle, and they promote new ideas in the walled city all day long, but the effect is not too significant.
After everything settled down, Chen Mu finally had time to deal with his own affairs.
He took the red lotus and came to the home of the black bone red.
"Little guy (brother), why are you here, come in and sit!" Black Bone Red was very enthusiastic, his face was full of red light, and he thought that things should be going very smoothly.
"All the big and small societies outside have been subservient?" Chen Mu was not polite, and after sitting down, he asked about the current situation.
Black Bone Red squinted his eyes and laughed.
"The dragon head stick is enshrined in me, that's not a joke, the hall masters issued an order to the rivers and lakes, whoever is not united will be beaten, where do those associations dare to be presumptuous!"
Chen Mu also nodded: "That's the best, but the actions of the British are becoming more and more frequent, and it is estimated that an offensive will be launched soon, so everyone had better speed up their hands and feet." ”
Black Guhong admitted: "I also want to speed up my hands and feet, and now everyone is actively preparing, but it's just ...... I just want to defend the British, and even fight with them, but it's a little difficult......"
"We are all from coolies, no matter which hall, the original intention is to support each other, all to eat, so the foundation is very thin, although the city has walls, but we have no guns and ammunition......"
Chen Mu also knew that this was not easy to solve, although the solution was thought up by people, but the time was too hasty.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Mu finally spoke: "That's it, I'll help you solve this matter, but you also have to help me do one thing." ”
"What...... What the? You...... It's good that you can really solve it, but don't coax me! "Black Bone Red is both a surprise and a little skeptical.
Chen Mu was not wordy: "Don't worry, I always do what I say, I will help you solve this matter, but you have to mobilize all the manpower to help me dig someone out!" ”
Hei Guhong was also a little stunned, because Chen Mu used to find someone as a condition, but the chips were guns and ammunition, which can only show one problem, this person is extremely powerful, and it is extremely difficult to find!
"You say, as long as he is in Hong Kong, my brother will definitely dig him out and send him to you!"
Chen Mu finally spoke: "His name is Fu Qingzhu, and he is a person who walks the streets and alleys to tell people's fortunes, for the specific situation, you will inquire with Sun Youlin later." ”
"A fortune teller?" Hei Guhong was also a little surprised, but Chen Mu could bring it up, he would not dare to be careless.
After nodding, he still asked Chen Mu uneasily, "Little guy, how are you going to solve the matter of guns and ammunition?" ”
Chen Mu also smiled: "Although guns are contraband, and the British ghost control is strict, but this is a port, and there are still channels, brother, you are also riding a horse to find a horse, what are Huang Xing doing?" ”
Hei Guhong also suddenly realized, patted his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, it's really confused, they are engaged in killing heads, there must be a way to buy guns and ammunition!" ”
"Exactly."
"They are now hiding in the walled city, the walled city is their last hiding place, they don't want the British to invade the walled city, so they will definitely help with this favor."
Black Bone Red nodded, but shook her head again.
"It's okay for them to provide channels, and if they want them to send guns to us for free, it's probably unlikely...... And...... And they are all so shabby, where is the money? ”
It is impossible for Chen Mu to pin his hopes on Huang Xing and others, as for the problem of money, Chen Mu is not worried at all!
"I'll leave the question of money to me, but if I want to pull Wang Julou and Li Sanjiang into the gang, my brother shouldn't object, right?"
Hei Guhong hesitated, because he knew that Wang Julou and Li Sanjiang were from Waijiang, and even if they entered the walled city, they still hadn't been able to open up the situation until today.
Because the other hall masters did not interact with them, everyone had their own territory and business, and they were unwilling to let Wang Julou and Li Sanjiang get a piece of the pie.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Julou and Li Sanjiang are running around these days, trying to find a breakthrough, but they have no way.
Hei Guhong nodded after all: "Okay, if you say so, I'll help them." ”
Chen Mu shook his head: "It's not you who help them, it's them who help you, and in return, you help them open the situation and the door." ”
"They help me?"
"Yes, I won't hide it from you, I have a sum of money, but it is hidden in Guangzhou, they are familiar with Long Ji, and they are the best people to go back and get the money, and others cannot be trusted by my people."
"A sum of money?" Black Bone Red was a little disappointed.
I thought that Chen Mu had some clever means to be able to turn around, but who knew that it was just his own private money, no matter how rich he Chen Mu was, how could his private money support the arming of a walled city?
Chen Mu is full of confidence, that batch of counterfeit banknotes is going to come in handy!
As long as these counterfeit banknotes are put on the market, the economy of the British will be greatly damaged, if not collapsed, and they will be exhausted by then, and they will have no energy to invade the walled city.
Of course, once the counterfeit banknotes flow out, the lives of the people will inevitably be affected, but since Chen Mu made this decision, it was also carefully considered.
"Don't worry, you'll know when the time comes, there's an important matter for you to discuss with the other hall masters."
"What's the matter?"
"There is a person in Sun Youlin's place, who was originally a fan maker, but his skills are very good, he knows how to make coins, you discuss with other hall masters, use our own currency in the walled city, and if the community outside is willing, it can also be circulated."
"In our own currency?" The black bone-red chest rose and fell violently, his face suddenly became ruddy, and his hands trembled!
Although the walled city is a city within a city and a "place outside the law", he never thought of issuing currency, because that is what characters like Li Zicheng and Hong Xiuquan will do, although his ambition is not small, but he never dared to think about it!
However, Chen Mu's ambition is even greater than him, this is to build the walled city and the rivers and lakes outside into an underground kingdom!
If it is really done, isn't he the "king" of this underground kingdom!
Chen Mu didn't look at it, and knew that Hei Guhong would definitely try his best to promote this matter, but Chen Mu's idea was very simple, the reason why he circulated his currency was just to cope with the impact of counterfeit banknotes flowing into the market next.
Chen Mu didn't want to explain too much, in addition to solving the problem of arming, it was also Chen Mu's way to pull Wang Julou, Li Sanjiang, Sun Youlin and others into the gang, and he had selfish intentions in it.
And when the counterfeit banknotes fermented and the impact was formed, Hei Guhong and others naturally knew Chen Mu's good intentions.
Chen Mu was about to tell some details, but Du Xingwu hurriedly came over.
"Chen Mu, no, Mr. Yang...... Mr. Yang...... He's dead! ”
